The crazy hyper anime is back. Hold on to your seats and keep the sugar away from the children cuz this will wind you up faster than a yo-yo! The pint-sized sarcastic school teacher takes her kids on one mad adventure after another. There’s magical girl mayhem, explosions, and a haunted field trip that uncovers not just ghosts but Becky’s past! And don’t forget about the aliens!
If you’re looking for a cohesive plot to make everything make sense in this anime: stop! Plot? We don’t need no stinkin’ plot! Plots are for wusses! This is about fun. Crazy, over the top, unapologetic fun. You’ll laugh so hard you’ll need CPR! This is Excel Saga without the sex jokes and blood soaked violence. This show is near indescribable because it’s all over the map. It’s so hyper that Ritalin would have no effect whatsoever! The zany motley crew of school girls unleashes a whack of mayhem faster than you can say… “Dash!”
The amount of parodies in each episode is incalculable. Thanks to the Powers that Be that they put in those AD-VID notes that are like pop-up bubbles with the low down for all the jokes and references in each show. With the AD-VID notes you might even say this is culturally educational. That’s right! It’s an amazing blend of education and insanity in one small package!
EXTRAS:
What isn’t a bonus on this DVD! There’s reversible cover art, an insert booklet “The Complete Strategy Guide for Momotsuki Academy”, CD spot medley, ADV previews, clean closing animation, and “In Class with the Cast”. The last feature has the lovely ladies of ADV voice talent answering questions on who their first crushes were on, what their fave subject was in school and their first kiss! Fan boys delight! There’s also AD-VID notes subtitle option so that you can find out what all the knocks, winks and jokes are parodying in each and every crazy episode.
IN SUMMARY:
Warning: Hilarious insanity herein: be prepared for bouts of mad laughter to overcome you! |
